Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
532d581583
If all CPUs discovered during boot have SSBS, then spectre-v4 will be considered to be "mitigated". However, we still allow late CPUs without SSBS to be onlined, albeit with a "SANITY CHECK" warning. This is problematic for userspace because it means that the system can quietly transition to "Vulnerable" at runtime. Avoid this by treating SSBS as a non-strict system feature: if all of the CPUs discovered during boot have SSBS, then late arriving secondaries better have it as well.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
